What type of painting to use for your home according to Vastu?

Our houses are speechless but paintings and art add unspoken meaning to our homes. From landscapes to horses, devotional art and much more. Paintings make our emotions such as love, pride, devotion, sacrifice etc. come to life-enhancing our décor with vibrant colours and meaningful shapes and designs, our homes are for us to relax and rejuvenate while spending time with our families. That’s why it’s important to personally choose the art you want to put up on your walls rather than letting your interior decorator do it in their personal style. 

Hanging art that’s off-putting or too loud and negative for your environment might be a disaster. Luckily for this reason and much more our ancestors left us with Vastu Sastra, a deeply insightful guide of traditional architecture and secrets to bring optimism and faith in our household Wall painting. 

Vastu architecture takes into consideration the built design and all other external factors such as location and environment to guide us towards the optimal way to manufacture our homes birthing comfort and hospitality. When the knowledge of Vaastu and the emotions of art are brought together there’s isn’t anything that speaks more of homeliness than that.

As per Hindu mythology, he is considered as the ' Pratham pujniya’ in simple words it’s auspicious to worship him before something significant and take his name before any other gods, as this was the words of his father Lord Shiva. Since then, Ganesha and artwork depicting him, has held major significance in our cultural heritage. 

Him being the remover of obstacles or Avighna helps us with difficult times and gives us the courage to overcome our obstacles while maintaining calm and tranquillity in and around us. Ganesha and his small eyes are known to denote focus, Ganesha helps us to have a mindful lifestyle while also eliminating restlessness and chaos. Don’t overlook the direction of the trunk, a trunk pointing right to Ganesha, although being more auspicious is harder to please and requires rituals to be followed regularly in order to please the power of the sun it harnesses. So, it’s better to buy the artwork with the trunk pointed to the left if it’s not convenient for you to perform rituals every day.
